Speaking at the ceremony, Pwani Oil Commercial Director Rajul Malde highlighted the rigorous selection process that saw the five winners selected from a list of 11 finalists.

The grand finale was a celebration of youth culture, with over 1,000 attendees, live performances, fashion showcases, and vibrant cultural displays.
“This beauty pageant is part of our broader commitment to empowering communities, creating youth opportunities, and driving purpose-led branding in Kenya and beyond,” added Malde.
